181 Seafood

This place is quite crude to my taste. This is a live seafood center. Whatever seafood that fancy you are purchase as fresh as you can imagine (fresher than NTUC). The seafood is slaughtered live before your very eyes.

The fishes or frogs are mostly hammered to death before being slice and skin (or vice versa). This place is full of blood and gore. I have visited it when I am a small kid. 10 Years later the image is still retained. Unfortunately (Fortunately to some), nothing has changed 10 years on.

Apart from viewing life eels, groupers and the aunty hammering skill, witness how a few thousands frogs live together and their stuggle to get out. Either physically by building a living ramp or by having sex constantly...

This place will be placed as part of Farm Tour

Random places of interest :- Marina Bay Sand and The Helix

Gosh! It has been more than 1 week since I last posted! Oops! Well in the one week much has changed. The greatest change is the opening of another iconic building in Singapore and a new bridge to link it. Yes, its the Marina Bay Sand and The Helix Bridge.

After work, I take a quick stroll to the MBS and bridge. As all of you should know, only a small part of the complex is open. Well see picture below for a sneak review.

This tour will be classified under random places of interest to as it does not meet the objective of the blog.

Educational Tour :- HDB Gallery @ Toa Payoh

Hi everyone, sorry for the late posting. Learning how to blog properly and touching up my HTML and CSS skill really took a lot of time...any expert out there. I have reset and redo this blog due to errors countless times for this past 3 weeks...

Well, the show must still go on so the next place I am going to intro to you is the newly refurnish HDB Gallery!

Learn the living environment of our forefathers; learn how the different housing estates are named and the story behind them.

See cool 3D holographic effects and play around with new touch screens that resemble iPad, watch a all surround movie from a 3D projector.

Factory Tour :- Thow Yen Bao

Thow Yen Bao is a "bao" (or bun) manufacturer in Singapore. One of the first things to WOW you is that you will never get to see so many "bao" gather in one place.

Inside the factory, you can purchase either hot or cold bao (both bao are already cooked..). Cold “bao” is suitable for steaming at home while hot “bao” is for immediate consumption.

Now, there is all kind of fillings for the “bao”. It ranges from red bean, vegetable, pork meat, chicken meat to sweet corn filling. So just take your pick or ask the staff to each one take one!

Apart from "bao", they also manufactured "siew Mai", "loh mai kai" and some other food stuffs. If the boss is in a good mood, he may even allow you to tour his factory (it really depend on mood...sometimes yes, sometimes no...). Regardless of the outcome, no photographs are allowed to be taken (this explain my blurry images which the boss ask me to quickly take before others also take).

This trip will be classified as part of either Factory Tours or Warehouse Tours. Which one is applicable will depend on the Bao boss mood!

Blog Updates

Hi all,

This blog will be undergoing a quick and short revamp. Everything that is already here will still be here. Navigation pages will still be the same. What is new is that we will be providing for details and words to help users with non-image based browser to understand the places we are introducing.

It may be a shock to Singaporeans, but many users out there are still dependent on non-image based browser due to the lack of broadband connection which we have already taken for granted.

So after receiving alot of complains about this issue, we have decided to take some time to at the same to provide more information where possible at the various post.

As there are now more than 100 posts and I am not a full time blogger it may take more than a week. However, do come back from time to time as new post will be provided when I need to take a break in redoing old post (quite tiring job actually...)

This Post will be deleted once this revamp is completed and will not be classified anywhere.
